Hi,
Weird issue, perhaps someone can explain how this might be happening from a tomcat perspective... I have some CXF generated web service client code that calls a web service that operates on an IP whitelist. If I run this code from the shell as the tomcat owner user "apache_tomcat" on the app server (RHEL6) the webservice reports that the client ip is the app server. This is as expected, it is making a direct http connection to the web service. If I wrap this exact same code in a jsp and deploy it to tomcat 7.0.20 on the app server, where tomcat is running as user "apache_tomcat", the client ip is reported as one of our internal proxy servers. This should not be happening. There are no http_proxy environment variables set for either apache_tomcat or root. The tomcat jvm has no -Dhttp.proxy settings. But, it seems that the code running in tomcat is pulling a proxy definition from somewhere. Any ideas where this proxy is coming from? We can't find anything at all on the OS. Is tomcat or java itself proactively searching for available proxies? The only way to get the behaviour we want is to use -Dhttp.proxy and -DnonProxyHosts statements on the tomcat jvm command line. If we do this, we can at least get a proxy on the same continent J Thanks Dale
